| I'm thinking of renting a boat from the marina on Kinkaid but it is a 16ft Jon boat with only a 9.9hp motor on it. This will be my first time fishing on Kinkaid so I was wondering if this is too small and too slow to get around the lake? |

| You will be fine with that size boat. Just pull out of the marina and start fishing, there are some good spots in the immediate area. |

You'll be fine. Not a lot of big waves and wind back in the coves - getting across the main lake will just take a little extra time. Go slower and toss out a trolling line.
Let me know when you want to meet to go over the map - if you have not bought one, you can borrow mine, unless you want your own. I have time this weekend if you want to get together. |

| J Wood, I don't think the boat size is too small for kinkaid at all. I spent an extended weekend fishing at kinkaid from a jon boat with 3 grown men in the boat and there were no complaints/worries. Although it was terribly cramped with 3 monster tackle boxes along with 2-3 rods a piece + net and etc. If safety is your only concern though, you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever. |
